So as most of you could tell I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new/first Mac for the past few weeks now and on Tuesday it finally arrived, delivered straight to the doors of my home… the maclab!

It’s a shiny 17″ MacBook Pro!

2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM 2X2GB
320GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm
SuperDrive 8X
DISPLAY-HI RES, GL,Widescreen
Mini DisplayPort – DVI Adapter
Mini DisplayPort – VGA Adapter
Apple Remote

Of course the first thing you do is spread money all over it.. isn’t that what everyone does?!

The other side of the box.

The first image when you open the box Mmm don’t you just love that new mac smell!

Here I am getting it out of the box. Careful now!

The expression on my face says it all

Now for one with the apple the right way up…

And finally the opened product!

So far I’ve had my macfriend for about 5 and a half days and it is absolutely fantastic, exactly what I had hoped for and more.
The screen is superb and the sound volume and quality is amazing, it really is an excellent machine.

Thanks to desplesda for taking the photos during the unboxing!

So I ordered my shiny new 17″ Macbook Pro last Wednesday 11th
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM 2X2GB
320GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm

Still no idea when its going to ship though

But when it gets here there will be science inside!

The ADC didn’t send me anything but my shirt from the ADC Student Membership so they are
resending the box of dvd’s and junket again
